[QUOTE="Adil, post: 441465, member: 3031"] F# is a language from Micro$oft (yes, the very same M$ that brought you wonders such as windows vista, windows 10, internet explorer, activex, vba, vb.net...) It's designed primarily as a functional language (if you haven't heard of functional languages, go look them up, very nice), BUT, it interops very nicely with the .NET runtime, so you can use VB.NET and C# alongside F# code! Check it out here: [URL]https://fsharp.org/[/URL] Good tutorials here: [URL]https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/[/URL] I've been playing around with it recently and it's a breath of fresh air compared to stuff like Java, JS and C# A few big boys like Credit Suisse use it in their applications. It's even been used to balance the generation schedule for the UK power station fleet ([URL]https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/low-risk-ways-to-use-fsharp-at-work-5/#other-balance-power[/URL]) (Blog link here -> [URL]http://web.archive.org/web/20160323045633/http://www.simontylercousins.net/does-the-language-you-use-make-a-difference-revisited/[/URL]) Thoughts/comments welcome [/QUOTE]
